The Conservative party, the modern Conservative party, is on the side of people who want to work hard and get on.
おっっっっっそい
huh
>>138591339
Just because a quote has the phrase "work hard" in it doesn't necessarily make it inspire me to work hard.
>pick up adult book
>hard as fuck due to all the vocab I don't know
>decide the VNs I've been reading (moege, chill type stuff) don't have high enough vocabularies since I know so many of the words in them
>pick up Sayounara o Oshiete because it's an adult novel and I'm interested in it
>its vocabulary level is just as low as moege
What the fuck? So many conflicting experiences.
>there are people browsing this thread RIGHT NOW who can't write kanji
>>138591511
It's almost as if different people write things differently and for different audiences.
>>138591511
It's like they are different authors! And they write differently!

Reviewing ahead messes up things right? What about reviewing forgotten cards?
>>138591520
>>138591636
Yes
No, that helps
>>138591627

>>138591673
Good. Thanks.
>>138591673
>Yes
Uh, seriously? How so? I started Anki earlier this week and I review ahead whenever I want to study but don't want to learn any new cards. I'm worried now...
>>138591433
The fault lies with your programming then. You're still young, though, so you still have time to fix it.
>>138591854
SRS shows you cards right before you forget them. Therefore, reviewing ahead is reviewing cards too early, which therefore increases your chance of remembering them and thereby decreases the effectiveness of SRS. It's not a *huge* fuckup but it's not something you want to do because it doesn't actually help you, whereas reviewing forgotten cards is targeting all your weak points and leaving the SRS algorithm largely untouched (since you're reviewing cards on 1-3 day intervals anyway).

I'm sure everyone here can write 人 or 日 or something similiar
Does CoR have Spice and Wolf in txt format? I can't seem to find it. I have the regular html one, but I want to convert txt to vertical html with JNovelFormatter.
>>138591965
Oh, gotcha. So if I still have some free time left after my daily study session, I should review forgotten cards instead of reviewing ahead, right?Well, or study grammar or read something, but I actually like Anki for some reason.
If I have a custom study deck set to review all forgotten per day, will it automatically populate itself, or will I need to manually recreate it each day?

With adjectives, can you say either "悲しかったです" or "悲しいでした"?

Eh, you're probably right, but I hope not. So far it's been pretty enjoyable.
Does よかった always indicate a personal preference about something?
Like in DOJG they have the sentence of: この本を読めばよかった. Does it necessarily mean "I wish I had read that book" rather than "I should have read that book"?

Isn't that, you know, text? Couldn't you just remove the HTML tags?

Be careful to not fall in the Anki-only trap
>>138594010
This doesn't exist.
Fuck off with this bizarre strawman.
People don't study Japanese to use Anki, they use Anki to help them with Japanese.
>>138594010
What do you mean?
>>138594118
It certainly does exist. Never underestimate incompetence.
>>138594118
I used to be pretty deep in the anki trap, I can definitely see how some people could be prone to it
>>138594145
Some people stay on anki forever and never read for example.
Repping mature cards from core after reading a lot feels really bizarre sometimes.
What the fuck are those definitions?
>>138594145
People using Anki that never stop learning useless kanji.
>>138592856
What does DoJG said? The former or the latter? Just follow DoJG then. Sorry I can't help more than that.
The anki trap isn't just deciding to never read, or just focusing all efforts onto anki. Rather, the anki trap tends to be the tendency to do pittance amounts of reading alongside anki, without realizing how insignificant that reading is. For example, slowing going through manga at a pace of a couple pages a day, or opening a VN but leaving it in the background without ever really sitting down and going through it, that kind of thing. The daily laziness that adds up to months passed with practically nothing to show for it... except anki.
>trying to play Pokemon Black 2 in Japanese
>It's a pain in the ass looking up the pixelated kanji.
Is there like, a link to the game's script online or something? It'd be so much more enjoyable if I could read the script and copy and paste unknown kanji.
Thank you
>>138594606
You don't know shit son
>>138594289
If you don't know the answer, just don't respond, please.
How hard would it be to get the dialogue from a VN, have a program automatically parse all words from it, add info from a dictionary and input them into anki cards in the order of appearance?
I would imagine something like this would be useful for creating a vocab deck of whatever you are planning on reading so you could learn all the words before actually reading
>>138594526
Are you saying you spend days reading 2 pages of manga? Or is this some fictional anki trap you've invented?
>>138594755
時 i'm assuming? But yeah, it sucks. Struggled to even read 帽子 because of my inferior gaijin pixel recognition.
>>138594866
You're probably better off waiting until you know all the words in the japanese language before you attempt to read anything.
>>138594526
When you're at the stage when the only reason you can't read fluently is you don't have enough vocabulary, then it doesn't matter how much you read really.
>>138594883
It's just a bizarre form of confirmation bias to mend some inner struggle or shortcoming. It's not uncommon in these threads.
>>138594943
Rather, it especially matters how much you read, because every scrap of exposure is jam-packed with unknown information that makes reading incredibly efficient study.
>>138594969
Do you even believe what you're saying?
>>138595040
If you're not retarded you can figure it out anyway.
>>138594923
>>138594933
Fuck I never would have thought it was that, kind of misleading pic though the context makes it pretty easy to tell most of the time
>>138595040
>Do you even believe what you're saying?
No.
>>138594526
That doesn't have anything to do with anki, though.
>>138594866
Pretty easy, depending on the VN engine.
>>138594929
This. "Read more" is a meme. Don't believe anything you hear from anyone but me and this anon. Do not attempt reading until you're fluent.
>>138594825
Following what DoBG said is a legit answer, please.
>>138594606
Play a better game at a decent resolution.
Nintendo's shit is always eye cancer.
Why is the advice only to read and not to listen to any spoken Japanese?
When you use Anki real time import while reading a VN and you get a word that has no audio, what do you do ?
Especially if the character who used the word doesn't have a VA.
>>138595463
Reading is easier to texthook. Podcast and radio talks have no subtitles.
>>138594265
Maybe you shouldn't cut the definition.
>>138594606
What you'll want to do is to just emulate it and zoom the fuck in. Pretty sure you can get text hookers to work with emulators as well.
>>138595347
I asked that question in order to clarify something written in DOJG. Telling me to just read it when you clearly do not know the answer on your own is not helpful.
At any rate, DOJG provides translations solely in the form of "I wish I had..." though after reading other sources it's clear that either "I wish I had..." or "(I) should have..." can work as the intended meaning. So simply going along with DOJG would have provided an incomplete understanding.
So, please don't give instructions like that unless you know fully that DOJG is completely correct, because otherwise you're just filling the thread with bad advice.
>>138595517
What? "Ornamental" is supposedly core's definition for the word.
>>138595463
You can watch TV shows or movies, so long as they have Japanese subtitles. You want to be associating the pronunciation and sound of the characters with the shape of the characters. When you read you should sound out as you read to help build that association.
Just listening to people speak won't help you learn the language, why do you think we stress such an importance on learning to write kana first?
>>138595598
Okay I will be helpful now.
> この本を読めばよかった
>I wish I had read that book
> この本を読むべきだった / この本を読んだほうがよかった
> "I should have read that book"
>Does よかった always indicate a personal preference about something?
No.
You sure are really rude and acting like an ass. I hope I won't ever have to answer your questions ever again in the future even if by accident, anon. Goodluck with your study.
>>138595762
>When you read you should sound out as you read
I take it you mean 'speak out loud' instead of 'sound out'?
Would 20 be a good pace to go through the DOJG deck? I already know most of the basic one so I'll just delete those that I already know well. I'm wondering if it's not too fast/slow, since those aren't just words but grammar explanation too. I'm normally doing 50 cards a day for vocabulary but I don't think I could do the same for grammar. How many new cards do you guys do each day for the DOJG deck?
Im leaving for boot camp tomorrow morning.
Bye everyone!
>>138595762
>>138595509
Language aquisition is naturally through listening, though.
>>138595867
Didn't you flunk out of boot camp once already?
>>138595867
How are you going to do your reps, though?
>>138595827
I did 20 a day for the basic cards since I knew them, dropped to 10 when I got to intermediary and am now doing 5.
But that's because I read the whole entry for every card every review, which makes them take forever.
>>138595881
That was booty camp, and I lost my anal virginity on the receiving end.
>>138595869
>naturally

>>138595867

>>138595814
No, sound out the characters individually then speak the line.
>>138595869
Yes, and it is possible to learn languages by listening, but you don't want to be illiterate.
>>138595909
Okay, thanks for the feedback anon.

Chink detected.
>>138595881
No. I didn't get into boot camp. I stayed at home when they were picking me up back in early June to get a physical. Now I am oathed in and everything. I could still flunk though.
>>138595905
I can do them after two months. That's when I can all of my old stuff like my laptop and phone and everything.
Im still going to make it. Boot camps just a setback for two months on lifting weights and reps so they can push the military mentality on you.
>>138595927
Will try too. I don't like to blog too much but my endgoal is too go to Japan but I'm going to keep learning before I go there.
Maybe even swallow my pride and study with a 3DPD.

Hi, I'm deaf. Anyone has good resources on Japanese Sign Language? Since I'm moving to japan in a year or so, apart from learning how to read the language I want to actually be able to communicate with (some) people.

What the fuck.
Can you at least float?
>>138597083
>>138597136
No. I've never been into the deep end. It actually scares me to no end but in order to go to Japan its all worth it. I tried but im too scared of it when doing it alone. I mean everyone says it's retardedly easy im just being a pussy so when they push me off the fifteen foot rock or whatever ill figure it out.
They also teach you there so whatever. Nothing I do at boot camp even matters once its over.
If I fail though im probably going to kill myself out of shame.
Its all worth the risks for a better future and Japan.
Im not afraid...
>>138597136

Have fun getting kicked out once you get caught posting this kind of shit on base.
>>138596926
YN, huh. well you have a rate guaranteed at least, so that's good at least.
don't worry, they will teach you how to swim, how to float, etc.
assuming you make it through, they will send you to a school and then send you on your way to your first duty station.
Two notes to help you get to glorious nippon.
DO NOT sub vol. They will spring this on you a few days in. There are NO submarine bases in Japan. If you go sub you will vastly increase the number of ships you can be stationed on that are not in Japan.
MAKE SURE that you elect to pay into GI Bill. (they take some money your paycheck for a year or something like that). The value of this cannot be understated -- once you get out, you will be able to go to any college in america you can get into, essentially for FREE, as they will pay all housing, food, books, and tuition for 36 months. (This means if you don't make it to glorious nippon in the navy, you'll still be able to go to college when you get out and do a foreign study (year abroad type stuff) to make it anyways. And it'll be a better experience anyway since you won't be a grunt in the Navy.)
>>138596926
Dude, you're going to fucking fail the fitness shit if you can't swim. Your navy career is going to be even shorter than your tiny dick.
>>138597429
At some point in life I just need to do it. Im not afraid but really im scared as shit. Who knows man. Im the dumbest person in the entire world but at least I have heart.
>>138597748
Yeah if I make it through which I should be able too tbqh im going to do job training. I want to get my four year even if I go to Japan so I at least am welcome there to become a citizen if needed even if all else fails. Thanks for the advice...

I was an Electrician's Mate in the nuclear field (a "nuke", as you'll hear).
They'll give you this form where you indicate what duty stations you prefer. Not sure how much attention they actually pay to that though. There's like 25 or so ships stationed there right now, I think, spread between three bases. Sasebo, Okinawa, and Yokosuka. Good luck.
Fwiw I had some acquaintances get stationed in japan for first orders so it's possible.
>>138599510

Well I took a Japanese class last semester and it really kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know what I expected but it was filled with the tumblr girls that find Anime empowering and casual obnoxious weebs. I kind of went on a hiatus from the /jp/ side of myself and started learning Spanish instead of Japanese for about 6 months now. I stopped finding Asians attractive and everything. However, I'm not sure what's happening but I feel like it's coming back to me. I don't know why. I feel yellow fever again, I want to go to Japan again, I have the urge to learn the language again. I don't care to watch Anime or anything though so it's not a weeb feeling. Have you guys experienced this? It's kind of odd to me as I thought it was just a phase that I was able to grow out of.
>>138599937
Not exactly this but I first wanted to learn Japanese in 2010. I tried for three months but I soon gave up as soon as I stopped reading manga and watching anime. I started doing that again in 2015 and in the summer, I started learning Japanese again. (I sticked to it, ever since.)
>>138599937
Why would you learn Spanish?
>>138600199
It's relatively easy to learn so I thought about giving it a shot

>>138600288
None of that matters, become a translator and English tutor. The point in getting a job in Japan is that you can get a piss easy job because you're a fluent English/Japanese speaker.
Trust me, you don't want to be programming or doing any of that desk work. They'll overwork you for shit pay and you'll have no time to actually live. If you want a shit job, get one in the west where you might actually get reasonable hours.

Best tech resume I've seen in months. As long as you have a degree in literally anything, you will probably find a job in japan fairly easily. Just avoid the women for several years until you REALLY understand the culture there.

Then, do you simply skim through textbooks? Do you read sometimes?

Anything else on the card is for clearing up ambiguity or anything else - they should be ignored most of the time.
You should ideally be making your own deck, as premade ones tend to be full of absolute shit that is counter productive.
Cards should be as simple as possible, and omit anything that's uncommon usage - that can come later.

Looking up kanji in low-res games is a bitch. What's this kanji here?
>>138602638
Who knows?
>>138602638
Looks like 無
>>138602638
Forgot pic.
>>138602695
What game?
Rare kanji:
>>138602807
Popolocrois Monogatari. Charming game.
>>138602823
Damn, it didn't work.
IME can convert "おばけ" into a ghost.
>>138602860
Microsoft or Google?
>>138603077
MS.
>>138601476
Is it because only simpletons can be truly free in Japan.
Do any of you read Japanese novels? Any recommendations?
Who the fuck though assigning the exact same kanji to five different words was a good idea?
>>138603387
same guy who thought giving "work" 60 different definitions was a good idea
>>138602860
Post picture. My IME doesn't have it.
>>138600504
Fuck off.
>>138603424
>Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
全然無理！

It's hard to recognize novels because you'll struggle with the good ones too much to enjoy them, you know? Novels are pure text so if you're bad at reading you're going to have a bad time. So it's tempting to recommend mediocre novels like ドラゴンキラーあります or 無職転生.
>>138603424
They're all pronounced identically and have similar meanings.
Compare it to fucking 実
>>138603448
おばけ
>>138603538
>recognize novels
Recommend novels, I mean.
>>138603579
spooky
>>138603387
A lot of those words are common words
Kinda like for Hello in English we have
Hi, Gidday, Howdy, Wassup
there are a bunch of alternates
>>138602638
>>138602695
Nobody?
>>138603710
Not comparable.
I can't think of a noun in English that has two significantly different pronunciations and meanings, yet is written the same way.
Specifically a noun, because verbs and adjectives are extremely obvious almost all of the time.
>>138603728
What's the kanji before the one you can't figure out?
>>138604078
旅 isnt it
>>138604070
Idk if "read" counts, but there is stuff you have to tell on context like "tick" "cock" "park"
>>138604302
Read as a verb is obvious from the tense. As a noun, it is obvious from the sentence structure.
Those others are all pronounced the same in all contexts.
>Japanese don't make a distinction between legs and feet
>>138604566
>japanese don't make a distinction between blue and green
>>138604494
Oh, I thought of one: tear.
>>138604566
>Japanese don't make a distinction between Koreans and dogs
>>138604566
Context solves many of these mysteries.
>>138604651
This is a bit confounding, though. I'm sure someone who knows more than me could explain.
Does the word 呪術 have any implication of pyromancy? Or it's just any magic generally?
>>138604651
>Japanese don't make a distinction between cock and cook
>>138604651
>what is 緑
>>138604651
>Japanese don't make a distinction between cumulonimbus clouds and sea cucumbers
Anki is one of the few pleasures I stil have left in life. Every morning I can't wait to get started on it.
>>138604566
>english doesn't make a distinction between 脇 and 横腹

>This is a bit confounding, though. I'm sure someone who knows more than me could explain.
It just so happens that I'm well-read on this subject.

I'm enjoying working on Heisig with Anki, but I can't say I'll miss spending 2-3 hours a day on it after I've completed Volume 3.
>>138604651
Only historically.
Many cultures had far more abstract ways of perceiving colour.
I've heard some countries became acutely aware of the difference between green, teal, and blue, whereas the anglosphere considers only green and blue to be distinct, with teal being called either.
>>138604721
Yeah, 緑 is used a lot. I've been playing Mario & Luigi RPG and it's used whenever they refer to Luigi, like 緑のヒゲ.
I just remember reading somewhre that 青い can refer to either blue or green.
>>138604885
I call teal and cyan as blue, and chartreuse as green instead of yellow, and yellow as neither red nor green.
I'm so doggone tired of not being ADULT SCI-FI NOVEL level but of being COMPELLING CONTENT LEVEL
Can't even read muh moege porn games without thinking of how inefficient the study is
>>138604846
>脇
Armpit.
>横腹
Side.
I'd accept the greater distinction between relatives in the East, though; different words for older and younger siblings, different kanji for older/younger uncles/aunts, and male/female cousins.
Should I commit seppuku using this Frisbee?
>>138605009
>>脇
>Armpit.
Wrong.
>>138605036
全然駄目だね！！！！！
>>138605025
I'm going to do it.
>>138605033
Google image search 脇
>>138605081
Armpit would be 腋窩 anon. Step up your japanese.
>>138605074
>>138602695
Possibly 続?
>>138605126
>>138605126
脇 is the entire area between the upper arm and the torso.

Thank you, guys. Here is my website.
>>138605098
>脇
I don't see how this isn't the armpit.
>>138605188
>>138605155
That's pretty, perhaps pedantic, if you say 脇 and mean armpit people will understand you mean armpit.
>>138605240
If I say 青い and mean green then people will understand I mean armpit.
>>138605235
The armpit doesn't go that far.
>>138605255
That is not true.
>>138605329
Anything is true if you believe hard enough.
You guys are gays are diaper babies.
>>138605341
That is also not true.
>>138605359
It is if I meant "anything" in a different way.
>>138605126
>>138605155
腋窩はあまり使わないと思うよ
口語では「脇の下」とか、ただ「わき」だよ。おにいちゃん
Oh boy, I can't extremely precisely define parts of the underarm.
This is obviously comparable to not being able to distinguish a limb from an appendage without writing out a kanji that may or may not clear up the distinction.
Are you guys afraid of blowing chunks hard?.
